    Qantas First class SYD-LAX

    When you get off the flight in LAX to collect your luggage, your luggage will not be on the luggage belt - the handlers put all the first class baggage off to one side of the belt and you pick it up directly from them, as I discovered after my upgrade to First last month. Enjoy the First...

    All AU Diners Club personal cards will be cancelled in January 2024

    Sad to see the end of what should have been a great premium payment service. Remember getting my first corporate DC as a newly graduated employee in the 90's and because of wide acceptance receiving thousands of Ansett Australia Global Rewards points (Ansett's auditing of points wasn't that...

    5 status credits short for platinum renewal... any chance of Qantas 'gifting' those?

    The program rules are the program rules, you need 1,200 SC to requalify for Platinum. If Qantas grants a renewal to someone ending their membership year at 1,195, shouldn't they grant that to everyone who ends on 1,195? And if they do that, shouldn't they amend the program rules to state that...

    5 status credits short for platinum renewal... any chance of Qantas 'gifting' those?

    To the OP, if QF gifts those who fall short, what compensation do you think should be offered to those who have gone out of their way to ensure they have accumulated the 1200 SC to requalify in accordance with the published terms of the program?

    Delta US domestic baggage with LATAM platinum

    According to the LATAM site - Enjoy the benefits of flying with Delta Air Lines | LATAM Pass - you should. Does not look like lounge access in Las Vegas is available. It doesn't read like it is just for codeshare flights.

    Upgrading with Points - Qantas Frequent Flyer Program

    Rather than calling a call centre, I'd use the upgrade calculator which Qantas provides on their website - https://www.qantas.com/au/en/frequent-flyer/calculators.html#/upgrade - for one way BNE-SIN, for each passenger: - If you bought full fare economy (Flexible Economy) it's 29,900 - If you...

    This happened to me in January: - Anniversary month is December - Three days into January, Points Club disappeared and I was showing as Gold - Took 2 weeks for Platinum to be reinstated - Took 4 weeks for PC to be reinstated, all after multiple calls, PC reinstatement was something another...

    Mysterious "Loyalty Bonus Offer"

    Those line items have now disappeared from my account. However, this morning I got a "Congratulations, you are now a Lifetime Silver member" email, something I qualified for over a decade ago!

    Points Club Plus - Disappeared after Anniversary

    I am only Points Club, but I took some reward flights during the period PC was "revoked". I was assured I would get the SC retrospectively once it was reinstated. I resisted calling once PC had been reinstated for me, and the SC came through a few days later.

    Points Club Plus - Disappeared after Anniversary

    You are probably best to call. My anniversary month is December. A few days into January, my Points Club disappeared as well as my Platinum status (reverted to LTG). It took two weeks of calls to get Platinum reinstated, and over a month before Points Club was reinstated. In both cases, the...

    Mysterious "Loyalty Bonus Offer"

    No, my status credits expired on the last day in December. No additional vouchers in Points Club either. Will keep an eye out if anything gets added to the entries.

    December, would that have anything to do with it?

    Mysterious "Loyalty Bonus Offer"

    Has anyone had this before? Today I received four separate entries in my QFF account called "Loyalty Bonus Offer". Activity date on all four is 24 Nov 2023, with 0 frequent flyer points and 0 status credits attached. No other description or notification. Huh?

    Booking AirBnB through Qantas website

    I had a booking which started 25 December last year, and this morning, 25 March, the points dropped. I'd forgotten about the stay to even think of chasing it. Interestingly, they didn't count to this year's Points Club total.

    SkyTeam and Delta/Virgin Atlantic DISASTER!!!!

    I second this. I've had major pains with Expedia tickets booked on Star (Turkish / Lufthansa) and Oneworld (Qantas / LATAM when they were still in OW). I now avoid online travel agents, I don't trust their fares. If i'm booking with a travel agent, I'll book with a Flight Centre or a corporate...

    Survey re Premium/Standard Qantas Club Proposal

    In Delta's case it sure was, compounded by the equivalent of rollover status credits - every MQM (status credit) above the tier you qualified for rolled over to your starting balance next year. There were reports of people on Delta's top tier (Diamond) who had accumulated so many rollover MQMs...

    Do I need to fly 4 eligible flights to retain Lifetime Gold?

    Quite a few *A do but only flights on their metal are eligible (AC, AV, CA, MS, NH, UA) or you need many consecutive years at their top level (LH, SA, SK). Asiana (OZ) was always the most achievable but as their merger with KE is likely to be consumated, this will likely fall away and KE in...
